🏉 Talk about dedication! Wales rugby legend Jamie Roberts recently dashed off to Twickenham right after a gruelling 12-hour hospital shift. Jamie, who’s embarked on a medical career at University of Wales Hospital Cardiff, managed to balance both his passion for medicine and his love for rugby. He finished his long day at the hospital, stethoscope in tow, and jumped straight into a taxi to London.
Captured in an upbeat video, Jamie showed his determination by saying, “12-hour shift, long day. Twickenham, please drive! See you there!” as he headed to his pundit duty for ITV’s Six Nations coverage. He’ll be joining ex-teammate Dan Biggar in providing insights as Wales faces England in the tournament’s opening weekend.
However, not everyone is impressed. Some fans voiced their displeasure, pointing fingers at his dual role as a Welsh Rugby Union board member, especially amid the ongoing controversy over cutting down a professional rugby team.
Despite the backlash, Jamie is standing firm on the idea of necessary changes in Welsh rugby. He previously stated on BBC’s Scrum V: “If there’s ever a time to make radical change in the game, it’s now. We need to be brave.” With ongoing discussions about financial distributions and team structures, his focus remains on building competitive Welsh teams and a strong national side.
Regardless of the debates, Jamie Roberts is showing that his heart belongs to both the pitch and the patients. Let’s hope both Wales and Jamie prosper this Six Nations season! 🏴💪
